Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania – Pittsburgh heads into a week of rising summer heat, with high temperatures climbing into the upper 80s and low 90s by Saturday, while rain chances remain limited. Residents will notice a brief cool-down and a slight chance for showers on Wednesday, but the main story is a return to hot, mostly dry conditions through the end of the week.
According to the National Weather Service, Monday starts with increasing clouds and a high near 86°F, while Tuesday remains partly sunny and warm. The only significant rain chance arrives Wednesday, when a few isolated showers could move through after 2 p.m.; most areas, however, will stay dry with a high near 84°F. After midweek, temperatures steadily rise, peaking near 90°F by the weekend, with only a slim risk for a sprinkle Thursday or Saturday.
Commuters and anyone with outdoor plans should be prepared for the heat, especially from Thursday onward. Make sure to hydrate and avoid strenuous activities during the hottest hours. No major travel disruptions are expected, and utility impacts should remain minimal, but those sensitive to heat should take extra precautions. This stretch of weather is typical for early August, with little relief from the heat expected until early next week.
Keep an eye on local alerts for any updated advisories, especially if shower chances increase midweek.
